Take Your Pleasure to New Heights With These 5 Self-Love Products

Heads up, this article includes sexual wellness products from our Adore Beauty sex category.

If you find yourself with a little more time over the holiday period, may I suggest putting those hands to good use (wink wink) and levelling up your self-love routine?

Say you have one or two sexual wellness toys at home but you want something with a bit more power, a bit fancier, a bit more ooh-la-la… I got you!

This article is for those of you who want to step up from the beginner basics.

(By the way, we did an article on discreet self-love toys if you’re more comfortable starting there.)

I offered myself up to write this article as a woman who is passionate about breaking down the various beauty and wellness stigmas that surround us.

Although I’m very open to talking about devices with friends and colleagues, I can admit that even I was a little nervous to write this (kinda still hoping my mum isn't reading), but the first step to making something more socially accepted is to talk about it.

After all, that was one of the main reasons Adore Beauty started our sex category back in 2019 - to make sexual wellness more accessible and less intimidating.

This is ever so relevant since Adore Beauty recently launched our Pleasure Space survey which identified the impact sexual pleasure can have on our wellbeing.

There’s a clear appetite for sexual wellness products - however, there’s still a ‘pleasure gap’ where many people (particularly women and LGBTQIA+ folks) experience less pleasure than their male counterparts.

So it’s about time we pleasure back on the map!

That said, I’ve collated some thoughts of my own as well as from my colleagues and rounded up six products to level up your self-love routine.

All the below devices would be appropriate for those with intermediate knowledge of sexual wellness products, or just those of you badass enough to have the confidence to start with something a bit more intense.

They can all be used solo or with a partner, and have vulva-owners in mind.

With no further delay, let’s chat about some cheeky wellness products!

1. LELO Ina Wave 2.

What: LELO Ina Wave 2 Plum

Starting with a bang (pun intended) we have the LELO Ina Wave 2.

This device has so many options for internal and external use, plus a wide range of intensity settings.

It has an extra long-lasting battery, which is lowkey one of the best functions if you’re forgetful about charging your devices.

The power on this one is gonna impress you in comparison to the smaller, battery-powered devices, and it looks so sleek, right!?

It’s very smooth, easy to clean and seriously one of the best investments you could make for your own pleasure.

2. Womanizer Liberty.

What: Womanizer Liberty Lilac

If a standard vibrator doesn’t do it for you, it could be worth trying the Womanizer Liberty.

Instead of vibrations, this handy little friend uses Pleasure Air Technology™ and the nearly-silent air waves last around 120 minutes.

While it’s a step up, it’s also so unintimidating with its small size and discreet shape.

Plus, you might find this to be a good option if you’re sensitive to touch, or if vibrations aren’t your thing.

However, if vibrations ARE your thing, you might like the Womanizer DUO 2 Petrol which combines the aforementioned airwaves with G-spot stimulation.

Plus it comes in some really sleek colours.

3. jonny Lover's Dozen Condoms.

What: Jonny Lover's Dozen

Supermarket condoms can be a bit of a drag.

Enter Jonny condoms.

This brand was created by a group of friends who wanted to tackle the stigma around carrying contraception.

Reflecting on the embarrassment they felt as young women purchasing such products, Jonny was born.

Available in packs of 3, 6, 13 or 30, Jonny condoms are ethically made, vegan and come with biodegradable bags for you to take your pleasure on the road.

4. LELO Beads.

What: LELO Beads Noir

If you haven’t heard of kegel beads before, they’re used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which in turn can lower your risk of incontinence and result in better orgasms (especially if you’ve given birth and are looking to get some strength back down there).

The Lelo beads can be inserted together or singularly while you’re doing chores, exercising, sleeping or really just doing anything.

The world is your oyster, and the Lelo beads are the pearls ;)

5. Lovehoney Ignite Rechargeable Egg Vibrator.

What: Lovehoney Ignite Rechargeable Egg Vibrator Purple

The product page for the Lovehoney Egg says “Bring some eggcitement into your sex life” which honestly just SENDS me, but aside from the incredible pun, this waterproof, internal vibrator is made to be used on the go.

It has 3 speeds, 17 patterns, a travel lock and is designed to enhance foreplay with a partner, or used solo while out and about.

Confidence to wear it in public is not included - but if you got it, you do you.
